Got this from a forwarded message in one of my egroups. I wish I could thank the author for putting down in print what many of us are also exactly feeling and experiencing. == Many of you I have never even met face to face, but I've searched you out every day. I've looked for you on the internet, on playgrounds and in grocery stores. I've become an expert at identifying you. You are well worn. You are stronger than you ever wanted to be. Your words ring with experience, experience you culled with your very heart and soul. You are compassionate beyond the expectations of this world. You are my " sisters ." photo borrowed from dreamstime.com Yes, you and I, my friend, are sisters in a sorority . A very elite sorority. We are special. Just like any other sorority, we were chosen to be members. Some of us were invited to join immediately, some not for months or even years. Some of us even tried to refuse membership, but to no avail.
This blog aims to share our family's journey with our special child who has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. May the things you read here inspire you, make you more compassionate, and, perhaps, change your views about disabled individuals for the better.
